    About this ebook

    Seven friends decided that they all have had enough of the daily commute. During their poker game, they had to do some brain storming, how to get out of the nine to five work days. They were all doing well, but they were all sick of the daily commute. We have to find out a way to get enough money together for the seven of us. The most lucrative would be to take away what people take for granted. Like water, electricity, and the phone service. The question is only, how in all hell can it be done? Another of the seven said, one of us is a doctor in astrophysics, then two of us are lawyers, two have learned what there is to know about blowing things apart, and the last two have worked with mining of or. If we start with a simple kidnapping, to get enough money while we plan the big one, how would that work. As there wasn't any objections, and only Don Smith wanted to know what the big one could be. The Tom Hopkins, the doctor, explained. We blackmail the local bank-manager, by kidnapping his entire family, that will give us the capital we need. Over the last years, eighty percent of all electrical companies have closed down. And I read that another ten percent is going the same way. We have one year to get ourselves work on the moons electrical power units. Ninety percent of all electricity is now coming from the moon. It took the seven almost the entire year for them all to get a job on the moon. As soon as they were there, the two that knew about explosives, covered the entire moon station with high explosives, and then they told the Earth that if they didn't get six trillion dollar sent up to the moon, the entire electrical power plant will be obliterated. It worked, and a space ship with all the money arrived to the moon. Our seven friends went behind the sun, and landed on Mars. They were welcomed as heroes, and gave the Mars government six trillion dollar, and kept one trillion to be divided between the seven. It worked out well to start with, but then two of us died in accidents that shouldn't have happened. The final solution was smething none of the seven had even thought about.

      Sitting in his living room, watching to-days re-run of a soap opera, Alf felt dead bored. Not able to muster enough energy to get off the couch, the telephone saved him. It was John, his friend from the days at the army’s school for explosive training that phoned.

      We are having a small party at home Alf, he said. And, we are five of us, trying our best to pass the time. Rich mentioned that we play some poker, and that made me think of you my friend. Are you interested in a couple of friendly games?

      I sure am, John, answered Alf. I can be over in fifteen minutes. You want me to bring something, like beers, new deck of cards, or whatever?

      No Alf just come over. You know the address to my new pad, don’t you? Corner Twelfth Street and Queen, Number Two-hundred-fifteen, on the second floor.

      Sure John, as I said, I’ll be over in fifteen minutes.

      Arriving within the promised fifteen minutes, Alf rang the doorbell. Coming into John's pad, the size of the apartment surprised Alf. Even the furniture showed an expensive touch, more than he could afford himself. Have you got yourself a raise at work John, or have you got a large inheritance? Alf asked as he looked around at the fancy setup.

      Lady Luck smiled at me for a change Alf. I would like you to meet some of my friends. From the left around the table are, Tom Hopkins, Jason, Colt and Smith. We are sitting here trying to find a way out of the daily commuting. After some genuine discussion, we all agreed that this daily work is not something that we are enthusiastic about. So, Alf, throughout our card game, we are presumed to come up with ideas, how to get out of work. You can call it brainstorming. If we all concentrate on different ways to get money without having to go to work five days a week, we might come up with a good idea, explained John.

      Nice to meet you guys. I have to say that I fully approve of this brainstorming. John and I met while doing our term with the army. They taught us a lot about blowing things up, and all the various kind of incendiary device. What are you guys doing to pass a monotonous day? asked Alf, looking around at his four new friends.

      I have a Ph.D. in astral-physics, answered Tom. Jason has his master’s in business administration, Colt and Smith are Lawyers. It might seem like we should be pleased with our selected careers. However, the truth is, we need something else, and quickly, continued Tom.

      Came to think of something, said Alf. If one of us has an idea that turns out to be acceptable to only three of us, how should we handle a stalemate situation? When we are working with six votes, and still be democratic?

      One of us should be given two votes. That would put the total votes to seven, and make a stalemate impossible, suggested John.

      "Wonderful idea, I would say that Tom with his Ph.D. has the highest degree, so he should be given the two votes. Then I would like to have any proposal at all, written up. No matter how silly the proposal might seem. You never know, in conjunction with some other ideas it might change to the best of the
